Quebec’s Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve placed 27th on the list. “Hike amid Canada’s largest concentration of erosion-sculpted monoliths, which rise like fossilized works of art; kayak on the misty sea; and explore secluded beaches framed by marshes and forests,” shared the NYT.
According to Parks Canada, “whales and seals frolic at large,” and there are thousands of islands and islets that visitors can admire.
There’s no surprise here that Quebec saw a mention. Just last year, the French-speaking province was voted one of the best places to go in 2024.
As for Whitehorse, Yukon, it placed 48th overall.
“Surrounded by mountains and boreal forests, Whitehorse offers a warm welcome from the wilds in flourishing small businesses, including Yukon Brewing, offering “beer worth freezin’ for,” Gather Cafe & Taphouse, which shares space with a glassblowing studio, and Woodcutter’s Blanket, serving craft cocktails and microbrews in a 1930s log cabin,” shared the NYT.
